Run The Woodlands 5K #160
The damage this morning? 31:18.98!
I'm not worried. My weight is up a little bit. (I can feel it although no significant change in clothes). I hadn't run or worked out - other than approximately 2.5 miles of brisk walking a day in Vancouver - since last Saturday in Parkersburg, West Virginia. I ran the whole way in lower 80 degrees temperatures and high humidity without stopping to walk. Plus I carried on a conversation the entire way with Tim Vibrock and Rick Cook.
The splits ...
Mile 1 -- 9:40.10 (slower than usual)
Mile 2 -- 10:15.19 (ok)
Mile 3 -- 10:26.65 (didn't feel that slow)
Last .1 -- 57.04 (didn't feel that fast)
Nice crowd today. 69 runners. Rick ran to RTW, ran the event with me (even though his original plan was to do some speed work today) and then ran home. He's registered for the Arkansas Traveller 100 the first weekend of October.
The following 20-race club members ran the race today: Ann Leoni (95), Jeff Westergren (79), Jim Harrington (57), Jon Walk (41), Lloyd Swanson (37), Jim Braden (35), Vincent Attanucci (31), Leon Reiger (28), Danny Gilbreath (26), Mike Mendeck (24) and Tim Vibrock (24).
These 10-race club members added to their total today as well: Kim Driver (17), Rick Cook (15), Dave Smart (15), Carlos Ortegon (14), JoAnn Blakeley (13) and Kirk Norton (12).
One of the real interesting stories of the morning was running with Tim Vibrock. Nice guy! He had both of knees operated on late this spring (and had run NYC like I had this past November), but today became the 5th runner in RTW history to run a race in each of the seven (7) years -- 2000-2006. (But of the 7 races that he ran in the first year, he ran 22:45 in RTW #2!)
When I do a Run The Woodlands 5K, there are always people that I enjoy seeing. Many of those are listed above in the 10- and 20-Race Club, but it is good to see Mike Mendeck back out running again. His son, Gavin, who ran 22:17 and finished 13th overall, works with HRBer Sarah Graybeal at NASA.
